"It took a minute for me to even think about touching it," he explained to MTV. "It's a couple of components in that record that you don't wanna touch - Barry White being one of the main components. I had to leave him [on the song]."

"There's nobody out there in the world that's got a voice like his or even sounded the way he sounded. So I had to make sure I could leave that. It's gonna be interesting for y'all to hear how these young guys sound mixed in with him."

And, he is confident with the line-up, "I think Robin Thicke got something for the ladies. Usher, definitely. Trey, definitely. And Barry White. That was hard, because I wanted to put Anthony Hamilton on there, Maxwell on there. But it's hard, because it's only a four- or five-man [song]. That was the hardest part for me."

"The Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite)" was originally performed by James Ingram, Al B. Sure and El DeBarge in addition to Barry White. It appears in Quincy Jones' Grammy-winning album "Back on the Block".

or, every SINGLE THING ABOUT THAT SONG is untouchable.
Dupri should try something novel for his career: originality.
This song is going to suck and be completely forgettable.
